Approximately 170 Italian-American students from COD and local high schools gathered to immerse themselves in Italian language, heritage and culture during the College’s inaugural Italian Immersion Day
‘If you want to enter into their world, you should understand and know their language’-
This is an old saying about children and this is the way of interaction between the children and the teachers in White Fields Nursery.
‘Tell me the number you were able to toss with the ball’, this was the game today. Children enjoyed playing a target toss game of numbers, which focussed on their gross motor skills and numeracy as well.
In addition to that, children had a flower Math game puzzle, and they completed the flower according to the numbers.
They had so much to do with numeracy today and stuck the numbers on caterpillars, during the numeracy class to learn numbers.
They were involved in the color game, focusing on their identifying skills. Foot print hopping was great for coordination and balancing. They were so creative in collaging feathers on the UAE national bird.
To enhance their literacy skills, they learnt about Phonic ’N’ and its vocabulary.
Today’s Science Activity focused on STEM-Learning.
An excellent learning experience again…
To mark the 20th anniversary of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, and as part of the preparation of a report on “The use of languages by local and regional authorities”, the Council of Europe Congress held a conference on this theme at the Grand Hotel Bálványos Conference Centre, Covasna County, Romania, on 31 May 2018.
The main question on the agenda was how linguistic diversity can be handled by local and regional authorities to the benefit of all concerned. The debates were divided into four thematic sessions on language use in: 1) Local and regional assemblies; 2) Interaction with the administration and citizen participation; 3) place names; and 4) access to public services.
These issues are especially relevant in those member states which have significant linguistic minorities. The Congress has received several complaints on such issues with regard to the implementation of the European Charter of Local Self-Government.
The Conference was organised by the Congress’s Governance Committee and hosted by Covasna County Council. It was opened by Congress President, Gudrun MOSLER-TÖRNSTRÖM; the Romanian member of parliament and former Minister of Culture and President of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania, Hunor KELEMEN; the Chair of Covasna County Council, Sándor TAMÁS; and the Mayor of the City of Sfântu Gheorghe, Árpád András ANTAL.
As part of the Korean Language Classes at the KCC, students from the Intermediate Class took part in a 'Making Kimbap' Class. The class also included practising the linguistic part of the curriculum 'How to' before each made their own Kimbap.
The Korean language course, the Sejong Institute, at the KCCUK, is a social education course that not only teaches the Korean language but also introduces Korean culture to students.
From 2011, the course has been reinvigorated and re-modeled so that it now includes a wider introduction to all aspects of Korean Culture. Although still catering for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced learners of Korean the course is very different to what has gone before. These three new courses focus upon and explore contemporary Korean Culture through the language with modules including, cuisine, music, fashion, movies, society and working in Korea to name but a few.
Upon completing the course students are able to express themselves in Korean on a vast range of topics.
All our courses are Free, kindly supported by the Sejong Institute.

Suggestions about #refresh01 #LAYERS
“Refresh” is an exhibition series and a work in progress that wants to research Italian contemporary art and offer an update on practices that confront with the issues, languages and forms emerged with the digital turn of the last twenty years. The title of the series hints to the freshness of languages and to the wish to offer an update on recent artistic developments. The project consists of a series of mid-scale exhibitions, organized in temporary spaces with the involvement of different curators, in order to offer a full, detailed view on the contemporary Italian art scene.
Every step of “Refresh” presents new projects and researches by artists from different generations, who started working from the Mid Nineties onward. All the exhibitions will be accompanied by a bilingual (Italian / English) publication, published by Link Editions.
Curated by Fabio Paris, “Refresh01: #Layers” is the first event of the series. The show will open at Spazio Contemporanea, Brescia on October 22, 2016. Broad and comprehensive as it seems, this title refers to the various ways in which the complexity of the digital environment manifests itself in the works on show: the distinction between code and interface in generative art and glitch art; the layers in a digital image; the strata of time in the archives of digital memory; the distinction between public and private, material and immaterial, visible and invisible.
Under the hashtag #Layers, a selection of 12 artists will be presented: Marco Cadioli, Alessandro Capozzo, Alka Cappellazzo, Pier Giorgio De Pinto, Luca Grillo, IOCOSE, Kamilia Kard, Eva and Franco Mattes, Marco Mendeni, Filippo Minelli, Simone Monsi, Alice Palamenghi.
#Layers focuses on Italian artists in the effort, on the one hand, to investigate how contemporary Italian art confronted with the issues and the languages of the digital, with a specific interest in the relationships between artists and their geographical dislocation; on the other hand, in the attempt to present their work on an international platform.
During the show, the Link Cabinet – Link Art Center’s online gallery – will host the online project “Untitled” by Giovanni Fredi (curated by Matteo Cremonesi, from October 22 at www.linkcabinet.eu). The work is inspired to the Qingming Festival, a religious event in China when people burn paper objects in the attempt to make them reach their dearly departed: in the beginning it was mostly fake money or written prayers, now it’s paper replicas of luxury objects such as cars, watches and every kind of iPhone model. Scanned and turned into a 3D model, Fredi’s iPhone 4s 32GB will thus ascend to the sky, as a diary and an archive of his personal memory from November 2011 to July 2016, and as a kind of technological soul of its owner.

Los Angeles-based artist Lisa Anne Auerbach has created a number of knit sweaters using slogans, songs and speech. The project is intended to encourage people to actively participate in the political process. Taking over where T-shirts left off, her sweaters combine textile design, careful craftsmanship and luxurious materials into objects that will endure long after the political battles have faded away. Auerbach’s practice also includes photography, self-published zines, and the Tract House, an ongoing project which has been exhibited at the Contemporary Museum, Baltimore and Philagrafika 2010, Philadelphia.

In a Romanian language class for Ukrainian refugees, the question arose: "What is Moldova like and what are its people like?" Their enthusiastic responses spoke volumes about their experience and integration into Moldovan society.
Meet Zinaida Nerubașcenco, a resilient 70-year-old, recalls her escape from the war-torn Donbass region, arriving in Moldova with only a small suitcase. Moldova embraced her with open arms, offering assistance and empathy at every turn. Moldovans' welcoming nature made her feel at home, and the Romanian language classes played a vital role in overcoming fear and anxiety.
For Sofia Prisăcari, settling in Bălți with her Moldovan husband and daughter meant embracing the language and culture of her new home. Learning Romanian became a priority for her, as she envisions a future within Moldova's borders. She sees her daughter growing up bilingual, bridging her parents' native languages and the language of the country they live in.
These language classes, organized by the European Union and UNDP under the "Mayors for Economic Growth" initiative, have empowered refugees to integrate further into Moldovan society. By offering practical knowledge and fostering connections, the program equips participants with the tools they need for their daily lives.

Work from the 'Language of the Future' project I did back in Uni. For my project I looked at three types of communication - between people (ie languages), between circuits and electronics, and biological between cells etc. I think this was my favourite project I did in my whole time there.
